Figured its time I finally get Otter “Next Year” Overland Bus going on this forum since I have talked about it forever. Just starting the get parts and metal to get this done next year. Hoping for a BBB 2020 debut. Never thought I would be a split bus owner but this group and a few other individuals changed that. Below are the pictures from the day I picked it up in Moab in Fall of 2017.
I wasn’t given a chance between Sonny and my dad to put a transmission in it to transport it. They were just as excited, maybe even more excited.
Here is the paint removed back to original paint, turned out really good! Just need some areas repaired and blend paint back in.
Used oven cleaner, goof off graffiti remover and aircraft stripper in that order over the winter. About had a heat attack from the stress as all of it seemed very tough on the paint and had to quickly neutralize it.
Then I tried Back to Nature Multi Strip in the Spring, put it on let it sit for about 10 minutes and removed it with little or no paint damage. Found it on sale at Home Depot. I will use it every time now as even if it dried it didn’t damage the paint. The heat from the sun is the biggest ingredient I found.
More like a peanut gallery. But we got yr back.
The best kind of support and along with a few beers anything is possible.
Wow didn’t realize it has been 4 months since I’ve been on here,d seem like it was that long ago. here is a long-overdue update been working the past few weeks getting this ready to weld in new metal.
Next is cutting the floor out
Hopefully I have all the sheet metal that is needed for the next week.
Now I’m all loaded up and ready to hit the road and see you guys tomorrow. Of course there has to be a huge winter storm to drive through on the way down. I will see you guys tomorrow around mid day depending on how shitty the roads and driver’s are.
